What one puts out there into the universe...
shall return with much more fury than the energy one exerted in the first place.

If one should spew hatred...one shall receive great hatred.

I encountered another being in my place of work an in this time my division was under much stress and pressure.
being that I was fairly new and the other was new to the division...I thought that...
"well, we both know little...but I am sure that if I put little with their little...
we could surely achieve great things in this time of strife."

So there i stayed far from home into the wee hours of the night, assisting my comrade in completing their tasks.

"I must repay you" They told me.
but i don't do ANYTHING with the hopes of receiving something in return.
it's just not how I operate.

"No need to do that" I replied "We need to get this out and I felt that I needed to help in any way that I could - so I did. I need no payment"

But, they insisted and insisted and I hoped that one day they would forget....

After the New year holidays, I returned to work only to find a simple envelope at my desk.

The message was simple..."I said I would repay you to show my appreciation for your thoughtfulness and I know that you know I would forget. Please accept this as a gift from me"

I wanted to refuse it. Not to be rude but only because I needed no reward.
Helping our brethren and sistren deserves no rewards in my eyes.
It's only right.

It's only right.

It was more than enough appreciation for the little I had done.

What one puts out there into the universe...
shall return with much more fury than the energy one exerted in the first place.
